Your gym lead defines what qualifies as a workout.
Sleep is 7 or more hours a night, measured with a tracker or as “time in bed” as 7.5 hours. Time in bed must be in sleeping mode (not watching TV, using phone, talking, etc).
NO ABSOLUTES
As mentioned previously, people want to know if a food is “good” or “bad.” Food, particularly, whole unprocessed food, is a mixture of 1) macronutrients with a caloric value and 2) micronutrients without a caloric value. And each person needs to eat a certain number of macronutrients and micronutrients per day for optimum body composition, health, and performance.
Take almond butter, for example. Almond butter is predominantly a fat source, but it also carries protein and carbs that add calories to one’s total daily caloric needs. In addition, it’s got a mix of vitamins and minerals like Vitamin E and magnesium. But there is some amount of almond butter that although you could achieve all your Vitamin E and magnesium needs, you’ve eaten too many calories (predominantly from fat).
So, we learn that absolute food rules go away when you start to see food as a mixture of nutrients, where you are trying to get the right levels of different nutrients and each food you eat contributes towards that total. It effectively becomes food “Tetris” – where you eat a variety of foods to fit together in a way that gets the right levels of everything.
IS THAT REALLY A PROTEIN SOURCE?
A lot of foods label themselves as “high-protein” foods, but they aren’t really that.
Wait, huh?
A food may contain a good number of protein grams per serving, but it might have more calories from carbs and/or fat so it’s not really predominantly protein. It’s actually a carb or fat source. To determine if something is a protein source, use the nutrition label. To be a “protein-food,” the protein grams need to be higher than the carb grams and at least double the fat grams.
As an example, suppose there are 8 grams of protein per serving in a food. To be predominantly a protein source, the carb grams need to be less than 8, and the fat grams need to be less than 4. You’ll find this is NOT true for a lot of non-meat protein options, such as protein bars, or even fattier cuts of meat like bacon.
